African Solutions to African Problems is a rural development NGO founded in 2003 that helps women
caring for orphaned and vulnerable children in remote communities to take action for themselves to
address Health, Education and Development challenges, and through Advocacy to have their needs
recognised and voices heard. Our work supports the most vulnerable members of South African society in
some of the most isolated and under-resourced areas, providing practical assistance, education and hope
where these are otherwise in scarce supply. Our integrative, facilitative approach offers a proven path to
well-being, dignity and a brighter future.

Dear Friends and Supporters,
On an organisational level, we introduced elements of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) to aid communities in
identifying and leveraging their assets, amongst other things. This leads to a powerful paradigm shift which is instrumental in
developing agency. We also strengthened existing independent community support care structures to ensure continued high
quality care for Orphaned and Vulnerable Children (OVC).
We also moved our Programme Manager to the Matatiele office to provide closer guidance and mentoring to our young and
enthusiastic local team on the ground. Linet’s presence in the field increased the quality of service delivery to our
beneficiaries by strengthening the team’s facilitation skills, organizational capacity and m&e standards.
And, while we will continue promoting long term relationships, depth of engagement and on-going support, the year
ahead will see us adjust our role in communities in response to their growing capacity. The increased ability of the
women to take action for themselves and to improve the lives of their children, are the ultimate indicators of growth
for the communities and success for ASAP.

The support ASAP received this year reached an important new milestone with our
inaugural African fundraising event held in Johannesburg. It is wonderful that, despite
the constant need so visible at every street corner in South Africa, people opened their
hearts and wallets to support our programmes, recognising the need of rural women
and children in particular. A special thank you to our local Trustees Mbali Thubisi and
Andre Titus for their support and help in organizing the event.
The 7th Biennial London fundraiser was held in London in May and proved to be
ever-popular and successful. I am extremely grateful to our international donors for
their on-going support, and particularly grateful to the UK Committee who gave so
freely of their time and resources to create such a wonderful event. Their ongoing effort
continues to bring hope to the lives of marginalised children whose lives we aim to
uplift.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for their hard work and
dedication. And I would like to thank our supporters both locally and abroad, for making
2016/17 such an impactful year. It is only because of your involvement that we could
reach some of the world’s most forgotten children.
A heartfelt thanks from all of us at ASAP
Serai Herbst
Executive Director
Dear Friends and Supporters,
This past year there have been many calls on your generosity. The international community
has been asked to respond to natural disasters, famine, wars and the plight of refugees; and
they have done so. As the world’s media focuses on each new crisis its easy to forget the
ongoing deprivation and need that so motivated us when it first came to our attention. AIDS
still stalks Africa, children in the areas that ASAP work are still orphaned by the disease, many
still don’t have access to clean water, or shoes or enough to eat. They still need our help to
access the health and education that will enable them to become contributing members of
society and not statistics in some future crisis.
This Annual Report sets out the progress and consolidation that ASAP has achieved under the
leadership of our Executive Director, Serai Herbst. She has made enormous strides in
developing partnerships with the South African Government and other NGOs working in the
field and as the Community Based Organisations (CBOs) that ASAP works with, mature and
evolve, the emphasis shifts from dependancy to self sufficiency.
MESSAGE FROMTHE BOARD CHAIR by Susan Crewe
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
But even as one project achieves sustainability, there will be new ones desperately needing help from ASAP. The struggle to survive in
the Eastern Cape hasn’t gone away.
That is why we were so incredibly grateful for the magnificent response to the fund-raising lunch held in London last summer. This
bi-annual event has a unique atmosphere in that it is free - which is unusual for a fund-raiser! This year’s was held in a beautiful venue
in the centre of London and was attended by 450 people. The mixture of people - a handful of celebrities, glamorous socialites,
long-standing supporters, city gents and a lot of enthusiastic young things, sat at tables of ten decorated with colouful kikois
and jam-jars of flowers. The food was simple, copious amounts of salad followed by nice deserts accompanied by jugs of
water and a couple of bottles of wine. Nothing elaborate but of quality. Bob Geldof opened proceedings and was followed by
the actor Dominic West who delivered a brilliant ‘ask’. Serai, our Executive Director, gave an articulate and moving report
and our Founder, Priscilla Higham, also spoke from the heart and introduced our African guests. There was a terrific buzz
about the occasion and many guests commented on how moving and sincere the atmosphere was, it was also great fun.
The lunch raised £180,000 and more than one generous grant.
I’d like to think that an occasion such as this can be replicated in other cities in other countries because it
embodies the ethos of ASAP - a small charity punching above its weight, with modest overheads and focused
delivery.
With my heartfelt thanks once again to our enlightened supporters,
Yours sincerely
Susan Crewe

THECHALLENGE
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
The rural villages where we work continue to suffer from the HIV
and AIDS pandemic, with over 1 in 5 girls age 15+ being HIV
positive and some 25 000 AIDS-related deaths in the area per
year. These devastating losses, compounded by extreme acute
levels of food and water insecurity, sees many households in
these remote communities struggle to survive day-to-day,
compounded by inadequate shelter against fierce winter
cold and persistent summer rains.
Lack of economic opportunity means little income is
available to support families, a problem made
worse by poor education. As AIDS continues to
claim the lives of parents and those best able to
work, the plight of the children is particularly
dire. Orphans in child-led households
are commonplace, and too many children
are left vulnerable.
ASAP works with rural
communities in Matatiele to
strengthen existing
provision for the basic health and educational
needs of children, to develop the capacity of
the communities to better support
themselves and to advocate for the needs
of these children and the women who
care for them.
GET INVOLVED
WHAT WEDO
We take a facilitative and process-driven approach, seeking
always to let the needs and voices of the women take
precedence, and to ensure cultural congruence and respect.
Our approach, developed and refined over 15 years of implementation, develops the agency of
the individual women and their community helping them to shape their own destinies while
strengthening social cohesion and increasing resilience. Communities develop the capacity
to bounce forward from the knocks that life brings, and also to act pro-actively, before
disaster strikes.
HOW WEDO IT
PROGRAMMES:HEALTH
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
86% of households in the region are food insecure. Inadequate nutrition leads to poor
immunity, putting vulnerable children at a higher risk for opportunistic diseases. Hungry
children cannot learn or develop as they should. ASAP supports a holistic approach to
addressing health issues in the communities we serve.
These include:
• Food gardens at community centres, providing nutritious fresh vegetables for meals. Boreholes were sunk to provide water for the
gardens at Nonkqubela and Reahasetjhaba.
• Daily balanced, nutritious meals totalling 51 918 meals served to 341 OVC this past year.
• Training of community members to understand the necessity of nutritious food to prevent stunting and improve health and
resilience.
• Access to healthcare through provision of transport to clinics and hospitals, maintenance of a baseline OVC health database and
working with clinics to provide continuity of care in the community.
• HIV/AIDS awareness, testing and counselling in collaboration with the Department of Health.
• Provision of blankets and mattresses, totaling 141 this past year • Counselling for children, addressing trauma, grief and emotional concerns - 10 children received on-going intensive counselling.
Training of Caregivers by Dlalanathi on Play for Communication about child development and how to communicate and interact
with children through play. The course includes doll making skills.
• Training of caregivers in Child Care, Project Management, Nutrition, HIV/AIDS, and Bookkeeping, Play for Communication and
Childhood Development.
- Supporting 75 caregivers to meet the needs of 1059 OVC at the Community Care Centres
- Supporting caregivers in making 1505 home visits within their immediate community.

PROGRAMMES:EDUCATION
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
To assist children in accessing the opportunities that education should provide, ASAP contributed:
• Classroom libraries for four schools with teacher training and support to assist with child literacy, benefitting 1378 learners.
• After-school care for 341 OVC, including holiday care programmes when OVC are at their most vulnerable
• School uniforms, as a child may not attend school without a school uniform in South Africa, totaling 54 school shoes and 77 uniforms
• Access to bursaries for Tertiary Education, in collaboration with the Rural Education Access Programme (REAP), for seven
learners in Grade 11 with six learners still continuing with the application process.
• Therapeutic art workshops during school holidays for children aged between six and twelve years old, encouraging
self-expression and the development of identity, with screening for children in need of counselling. Art on the Go is out partner
for these well loved workshops.
• Career Guidance workshops were conducted by Imithayelanga Youth Development, with 156 youth participants.

PROGRAMMES:COMMUNITYDEVELOPMENT
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
ASAP works closely with communities to help them
identify the skills gaps and needs, that need
addressing in order for them to achieve their
priorities. We provide training directly or bring in
partners to assist. In the past year, we facilitated:
• Initiating and rolling out the first light boxes in partnership with Project 90by2030. This pilot in Nonkqubela is providing light in
dark buildings to enable kids to do their homework indoors and participate in after school programmes. Further roll-out will
continue in the upcoming year.
• Gardening workshop by Ikhaya Garden, a youth led organization in Khayelitsha, Cape Town took place in July for 156 Youth in our
partner CBOs in Matatiele.
• Participation in the annual Cell C Take a Girl Child to Work Day with 8 girls spending the day in an office and experiencing what it
feels to work in careers of interest.
• Helping secure six birth certificates for children, six IDs for guardians, and 14 child support grants.
We were also pleased to be able to invest in the skills of our staff to further assist communities, including:
• Training two staff members in the Asset Based Community Develop (ABCD) Approach, to inform the methods we use in
highlighting and strengthening community assets as we move each partnership forward.
• Training four staff members in Facilitating Development Processes. We recognise that each community is so different, one size
doesn’t fit all when it comes to solutions. So while we use the proven ASAP Model as our guide, we also recognise nuances and
meet the communities where they are, and rather than leading them in a pre-determined direction, responding to their interests
and needs.

supported Nonkqubela community centre.
PROGRAMMES:ADVOCACY
GET INVOLVEDWWW.AFRICANSOLUTIONS.ORG
The underlying societal and structural causes
of the problems that our beneficiary
communities face are also deserving of
attention. While our resources are scant in comparison with the scale of
these problems, we work to raise the voices of the women, children and
communities to those with the power and responsibility to address them.
While we recognise that we cannot speak for these women and children, we work to centre their voices in these dialogues, and ensure
they are heard.
Our advocacy includes:
• Lobbying government provide services
• Holding government to account for lapses in service delivery and other shortcomings.
• Forming strategic partnerships to champion the rights of the marginalised
• Assisting women with representation at certain meetings to ensure their voices are heard.
In a recent instance, the local Ward Councillor, Mr Mdingi, visited
Nonkqubela CBO on invitation by ASAP. He was very pleased to
learn of the project and that the caregivers were doing such
wonderful work in the community. On seeing the garden with
unfinished borehole and storage tank, he arranged to accompany the
caregivers to the provincial offices to help secure a pump. He also
pledged his support whenever they need him. ASAP assists with
establishing, maintaining communications and follow-up in these
relationships, which have been beneficial with establishing school libraries
and in other projects.

Since 2003, African Solutions Foundation has supported thousands of women in remote, rural villages of South Africa in caring for some of the world’s most marginalised children.
By capacitating the women and their networks through a facilitative developmental process, ASAP sees them reach autonomy and continue delivering a lasting, positive impact on the health and education of the vulnerable children in their communities.

"I felt like less than the other children, and I
was ashamed I couldn’t go to school. ASAP
bought me a new uniform and I’ve attended school
all year. I’m learning to read and I don’t feel stupid
anymore." – Samkelo, age 7
